PANOTOUR PRO 2.5 STITCHING SOFTWARE
More recently, software such as Autopano and Autopano Giga (for high resolution panoramas) by Kolor appear. PTGui, PTMac, Hugin, Easypano are all software that were initially based on the panotools code for splicing images. The code of the panotools for the stitching of the images is used and enriched by a graphical interface by various passionate software developers.
Dersch also extend on the Java-based visualization engine that already in 1999 (three years before QuickTime) allows the viewing of 360° x 180° panoramas. Obviously any copyright restrictions are passed. IPIX went bankrupt in 2006, but in 2015 industries of a certain importance such as the Japanese Ricoh, put on the market cameras with two opposing fisheye, with an internal software that allows stitching. Professor Dersch shrink back, but does not give up on his research, also because copyright is registered in the USA and has no value in Europe.īut in turn Ford Oxaal complains that IPIX fraudulently copyrighted part of its studies. The software package is called Panotools.Ī war opens with an American company, IPIX, which claims copyright on the algorithms for deformation and splicing of images produced by fisheye, especially for the splicing of only two images generated by fisheye. Helmut Dersch of the University of Furtwangen, Germany, began the research to develop an open-source software capable of sewing both rectilinear photographs (produced by normal lenses, wide-angle lenses or canvases) and deformed, that is, originated by fisheye.
